Greetings my friends and thank you very much for joining! I hope you've all now shaken off your hangovers from the weekend and are ready to compete!

A lot of you are familiar faces who have been in several of my tournaments -- I'm glad to have your vote of confidence! A few of you are new -- it's good to see you and I hope you have fun!

Tourney privileges were received quickly and we are now under way. The first round of games have been created and all invitations sent out. This round is one game only; you must win this game to carry on. Good luck!

Congratulations go out to:GreenBaizeshaggybbDibblerazak848DoomYoshiFewnixFarowrexhamDagdam0rCrargshakeycataaliimcshanester29chapcrapmetsfanmaxdazzla35,all of whom vanquished their opponents and will carry on.

I'll have the games for the Native round sent out within the next hour or two. The Native round is a best-of-three series, so you will have to vanquish your next opponent twice.

Much to my disappointment, no Canadians have survived this round. An American and a Brit will fight it out for the right to represent Canada in the final. Almost like real-life history....Meanwhile, two Americans will battle it out on the American side.

aalii and metsfanmax advance to the Master Round on the American side. GreenBaize and wrexham will contest the Master Round on the Canadian side.

Condolences to all my fellow Canucks... we tried, but you can't win 'em all...
